Hey y'all. Everything is still good here in dirty old Pecos. Abby and Jacklyn, the baptism we had lined up for the 17th, didn't show up to church yesterday. That was kind of a bummer. She's an awesome investigator and really excited about the Book of Mormon and prophets but she just moved from Odessa a couple weeks ago and she just found a job this week so we haven't been able to get a hold of her. We'll keep trying though. Betty and Jesse, the brother and sister that we baptised last week got confirmed yesterday. It was awesome. Elder Brandon blessed Betty's 6 month old baby yesterday too. The dad took off about 3 months ago so Jesse is helping her raise the baby and supporting the 3 of them. Betty doesn't work but Jesse works for President Sparkman, our branch president. Its really a sad situation cuz they're both very uneducated and have extremely poor living conditions but its just amazing to see them grow and progress in the
gospel. The ward members have really been helpful in fellow shipping them. I still haven't done any teaching in Spanish this week. Its a bummer cuz my spanish isn't improving at all because I don't have very many opportunities to practice. We have some spanish members in our branch though so I bore my testimony in Spanish yesterday. That was pretty cool. Well nothing else is
really new here. I don't know what else to say. I hope all is well back home.
Love y'all.
Elder Brett Harber
